Marshall, Minn. — Thirty individuals have been selected to participate in Minnesota Agriculture and Rural Leadership (MARL), Class X.

MARL is a dynamic two-year educational experience featuring nine, three-day in-state seminars, a six-day national study seminar and a two-week international study seminar.
